Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback (lit. 'The death of Lekha, a flashback') is a 1983 Malayalam-language film directed by K. G. George and produced by Innocent. The film was controversial because of the protagonist's similarities to the actress Shoba, whose suicide in 1980 was highly publicized. In his biography, George admits that his inspiration to make the movie was indeed the suicide of Shobha, but adds that more importantly it was his long-time dream to make a film about 'cinema', which had never been tried before in the Malayalam industry at the time.
